F# G
Single room in the cheap part of town
F# G
And the elevator's broken down
      C
So I walk up the stairs
No-one cares about the rent
when you're paying as little as me

Dirty dishes and a stain on my shirt
I eat alone and I'm out of work
So tell me what did you think
I'm the same, haven't changed
Just been going by a different name

Em     B/D#            D           A7
What a waste, now I'm coming back to say

Chorus:
      G              G7/F           Em7
I'm no big shot, big town, big money, hop in my jet,
       C
flying all around the country
G                   G7/F
Sometimes when the weather's right,
  Em7                            C
I sail out to the ocean, staying overnight
      G                           G7/F
Well, I went from broke since the last time we spoke
         Em7                 C
Now I'm coming back here to say,
Cm                      F# G
everything is going my way

I grab the bus from the damp hotel
I grab things and I'm ready to sell
That I'll want out of time
All the things that I loved
All the memories that use to be mine

They're gone, yeah, I've thrown them away
They're gone, and I'm going to mess up today
Will you ask another day?

What a waste, now I'm coming back to say

Chorus:
I'm no big shot, big town, big money
Off to buy a jet, fly it all around the country
Sometimes when the weathers right
I sail it to the ocean stay overnight
'Cause I went for broke
Since the last time we spoke
Now I'm coming back here to say
Everything is going my way
Well, everything is going my way

Big shot, big town, big money
Off to buy a jet, fly it all around the country
Sometimes when the weathers right
I sail it to the ocean stay overnight
'Cause I went for broke
Since the last time we spoke
Now I'm coming back here to say
Everything...
Everything is going my way!!
